Recently released 1 December 2019 for consumers, this GPU serves as competitor against AMD's own RX 580 and Nvidia's GTX 1060 6GB, GTX 1650 SUPER and GTX 1660. This GPU comes with 1408 stream processors which is clocked at 1670MHz and can boost up to 1845MHz on stock setting, also comes with 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM with 128 bit bus width. This GPU score 58.1% on GPU benchmark which is on par with AMD RX 580 and Nvidia GTX 1650 SUPER but below AMD RX 590 and Nvidia GTX 1660 and GTX 1660 SUPER. This GPU costs $160 which is same as the pricing of GTX 1650 SUPER but this GPU requires a bigger wattage PSU as this GPU consumes 150W compared to GTX 1650 SUPER which is 100W. ^{[Dec '19 ColdSpy]}

MORE DETAILS

Out of the box the reference 5700 XT has high burst speeds but under load it overheats and therefore drops frames to the extent that it is more or less unusable for demanding games like PUBG. In order to settle the card it was under volted by 120 mV and the maximum clock was lowered to 1,980 MHz (the stock BIOS and 19.9.1 driver defaulted the card to 2,030 MHz). The fan curve also had to be turned up to around 50% power at 75 degrees (which is a lot noisier than stock). After making these changes the card delivered far more consistent performance albeit with a reduced top speed and unacceptable (hair dryer) levels of noise. There were also incompatibilities with GTAV: enabling reflection MSAA resulted in very poor, almost matt, reflection fidelity (the same bug appeared on several Navi and Vega cards). The reference 5700 XT is great for beating cherry picked benchmarks, but it is not so great for playing games. Thousands of people, duped by sponsored marketing material, purchased the reference card expecting flagship performance, instead they got a shopping trolley with a V6 engine. It appears that the same marketing tactics were employed for the reference Vega 56 and 64 series of graphics cards which we will purchase for our gaming lab and generate effective Fps gaming metrics as soon as possible (results here). AMD appear to have very short term marketing strategists at the helm, they seem more concerned with this years bonuses than the longevity of the brand. ^{[Jul '19 GPUPro]}
